The Epson Communication Error occurs when communication between the printer and the PC is not established. This error indicates that there is something wrong due to a network issue. Probably, the data transfer must be broken between the PC and the printer. This is not a big problem. It can be fixed easily. If you’re using a wired connection with the help of a USB cable, then check whether the cable is loose on any of the ends. To elaborate, see whether the cable is loose on the printer's port or PC port. The best way to go is, remove the cable from both ports and plug it again into both devices.
